Don't Take Life For Granted. Make the Most of it

The New Age of Influence

In this episode, we have Makarand Utpat, an award-winning book author, speaker, business advisor, and social entrepreneur. His expertise in different topics such as digital marketing and personal development is sought out by others who wanted to turn around crises or conflicts into opportunities. Today, Makarand talks about when we take things for granted, the things we are granted get taken.

Life is too short.

Makarand shares how his colleague John Caroll lost his life because of a car accident. Life is Short! You May Be Alive Now, but You May Die Anytime. The reality is that you never know what will happen tomorrow. Life is a wild journey with no guarantees. So, take advantage of the opportunity that comes your way since there are no rewinds of reality, just memories. Our time here on earth is minimal. And how we respect to time will increase our chances of fulfillment. Life is too brief to be concerned with anything.

Inspired by others.

Makarand mentioned that John inspired him too well in all aspects of life. It's a remarkable achievement to be remembered in a good way after death. Most people believe that looking so far ahead is a waste of time, but it can be beneficial in my experience. By living one's life with this posthumous goal in mind, one immediately starts to solve specific challenges and focuses on making some constructive changes to live.

Do it now.

Whatever ideas, feelings, or visions you have, only go about following them and moving on them. We've been through a lot in terms of being trapped and incarcerated because of such detailed things that are being produced.
